Well, the Relocube is supposed to arrive between 7 and 9, so my Husband got up at 6:40 (funny thing is I looked at the clock at 6:39 and then the cat came and meowed at the bedroom door - guess we are all excited about the relocube) :hehe:

We will be heading off in the car for Florida tomorrow, unless the roads don't look great, seems to be lots of snow in Montana - so we will postpone leaving for a day or two dependant on if the roads look clear. We still have our snow tires on, will people in Florida notice?

Aww. Poor kitty's going to be all confused. No, I don't think anyone's going to notice snow tires in Florida. They don't even notice me walking in a parking lot (based on the number of times I've been hit and/or had near misses by tiny little seniors who can't see over the steering wheel of the big old boats they're driving without looking). And I'm WAAAAAAAY bigger than a snow tire. :hehe:

excellent :thumbs::unsure:

Yes, she's been good, I thought she would be kind of skittish with everything being moved/packed etc, but she's ok, but I worry about her anyway.

Has the cube arrived yet?

Just a few minutes ago! Here it is, it looks o-soooo-small!! My Husband has just gone out to do some measuring to make sure our bed will fit in there. I don't know why there are 2 relocubes on the truck, only 1 of them is ours, I guess that's so when you see the actual size you call them and add the second one for another $ 1000 !

I hate moving!!! Luckily when we moved into our condo, the wife did most of the packing!!

Canadians Visiting the USA while undergoing the visa process, my free advice:

1) Always tell the TRUTH. never lie to the POE officer

2) Be confident in ur replies

3) keep ur response short and to the point, don't tell ur life story!!

4) look the POE officer in the eye when speaking to them. They are looking for people lieing and have been trained to find them!

5) Pack light! No job resumes with you

6) Bring ties to Canada (letter from employer when ur expected back at work, lease, etc etc)

7) Always be polite, being rude isn't going to get ya anywhere, and could make things worse!!

8) Have a plan in case u do get denied (be polite) It wont harm ur visa application if ur denied,that is if ur polite and didn't lie! Refer to #1

Yeah, moving, yeah.

We have hired a mover to actually put our stuff in said relocube. We were hoping to fit our washer and dryer in there too, we will see. Have to weigh up the cost of shipping vs new stuff, an additional relocube is like $1200, can buy a new washer and dryer for that :hehe:

Anyway, off to wrap up the bed in plastic wrap!!

Whoa. That IS small. Good thing you gave away most of your stuff. :hehe: And just look at that snow! :o Yes, take one more good look at it, Trailmix. That's the last you'll be seein' of that stuff once you move. :hehe:

D'oh! :bonk: I ended up doing the same thing two times. (Me packing, him not, that is.) The first time from Canada to the apartment in Florida then, again, six weeks later from the apartment to our house. Bleh. Moving sux.
